Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8404431A1] A self-excited switching D.C. stabilized power supply includes a switching transistor (88) and the primary winding (92) of a transformer (90) which are wired in series across first and second input terminals (72, 74) of the power supply. A secondary winding (94) of the transformer (90) is coupled to first and second output terminals (76, 78) of the power supply by means of a diode (96) which, when forward biased, transmits the D.C. signal to a variable load. A feedback circuit which includes a photocoupler (118) is connected to the output terminals (76, 78) of the power supply for delaying the switching of the transistor (88) in accordance with the load requirements to provide a quiescent period in the switching period of the transistor (88), during which time the transistor (88) and the diode (96) are in a non-conducting state. The on period of the switching transistor (88) and the quiescent period are varied in accordance with the load to stabilize the switching frequency of the transistor (88).
